Well, Jake's second hearing aid was finally approved, ordered, and received!! At last. Thanks to New Jersey's Childhood Early Intervention program , Jake will for the first time experience sound from 2 HEARING AIDS.
Tomorrow is a busy day. We will drop brothers Dylan, Timothy, and Casey off at school and head up to Summit Speech School with our new BAHA and let Ellen do her magical adjusting for Jake. I think I will bring the video camera so I can show how he likes it! Camera, hmmm. Watch out Ellen. It's about time we got your beautiful face on film for this little guy to see!
Of course nothing happens without it's glitches! The WRONG band was shipped with the new BAHA. Jake needs a headband with 2 holders now, and the one shipped only has one. How special. It wouldn't be me if there wasn't at least one wrench in the spokes of my bike every day. As Al Pacino so eloquently said in the movie The Scent of a Woman, "if you 'tango' up, you gotta just 'tango' on"; and tango, we shall!
Life is GOOD.

YAY!! A COMMENT! We just got home from getting the second hearing aid! Jake is so exhausted, as he will be for awhile, as he re-learns everything he knows about localizing sound!
